567-MW Wanpoh line to be ready by year end

The 567 MW Wanpoh-Mirbazar transmission line, on which the work is going on, is all set to be completed by year end. The line will give an additional energy import source to the Valley, officials said.

The officials said that the PMDP project shall ensure stability and reliability in the event other power import pathways fail during heavy snowfalls.

“The project has been in the pipeline for a long time but finally we are all set to complete it. The line will help us tap power from PGCIL’s new Wanpoh grid. So far due to the lack of connectivity via transmission line we were unable to tap the power from this source, but very soon we will be able to do it,” an official said.
